[Diabetes-Talk] Free style libre

You bet! I don't often run into fellow travelers who are also allergic to
adhesive, but there are things out there now that can work for some things.
Hopefully you can make something work for the CGM!

Hi Sandi,

Great idea! There are self-adhering bandages that are used on animals, and
humans, I believe, that may work. Definitely time to call the doctor!

Thanks!
Sarah

I am also allergic to adhesives, and paper tape is not the answer. You might
talk with your health care professional and find out what the product is
that sticks to itself but does not contain adhesive. It's pebbly plastic,
and works very well, and I have never had trouble with it. I can't remember
the name, but in my case they always wrap it around my elbow after taking
blood. I'm not sure if it could be used with your sensor, but it would be
worth a try. I just think there has to be a way to use it without adhesive
for those of us who can't use them!

Sorry if this question has been asked already, but does the Libre have any
kind of adhesive on it? I'm considering getting it but can't if it has any
as I'm allergic. 

 

Thank you,
